We had a rather slow week this week but oh well... on Tuesday we went to Sis. Forhans. a less active lady.. and helped her burn her burn piles. it was way fun! knowing me.. a pyro!:) no i did not burn myself or any of the sort so dont worry haha. we will probably be going back to her house probably this next week or something so we can burn some more:) so much fun!
Wednesday elder moses had to be at the zone leaders appartment at 7 in the morning. because they were going to zone leader council in dallas and they asked the district leaders to come as well.. well we were a mile away from the zone leaders and they sent us a text saying it was cancelled.. apparently a storm was rolling through dallas at the time. and it was pretty bad! so we went back home and about an hour later the storm hit us. oh my gosh! it was huge! it rained very hard non stop for almost all the day. we were asked to plan that day cause of the storm. so we did. even after planning it was still too bad to go outside and tract so we stayed inside and napped:)
So on thursday elder moses ended up going in to dallas and i went on an exchange with elder miller. so i got to drive that day:)! we went to visit one of our investigators in flint. he lives about 20 miles away from us. He needs to be dunked! he comes to church every week and knows it is true. we just dont know what is holding him back. we ended up tracting for a couple hours after that and found no body.. all there was, was old people and they were cranky!
So on friday we went on a "quest" to jacksonville.. as elder moses put it. Jacksonville is considered the guetto of our area. there is so many black people there and hispanics! well we also went with the Tyler 2&3 elders. they are spanish. Elder LeFevre and Elder Cardenaz. we stopped at a rest stop called Mt. Selman and it is probably the highest point in East Texas and is like 2 feet short of being considered a mountain. you can see probably 35-40 miles out. its very pretty. well elder cardenaz is a greenie and he has a fetish of flipping elder moses' tag off because elder moses started that like his first week haha. well elder cardenaz was trying to flip his tag off and wasnt watching where he was going and walked straight into a pole! hahahahaha it was the funniest thing ever. he was pretty embarrassed and elder moses could not stop laughing!! hehe. well anyways. while in jacksonville we split up and i went with elder cardenaz and we visited jack parmer. a recent convert. and natalie price one of our investigators. she needs to be baptized too but she wont quit smoking:/
Saturday we had Interviews with the mission president. they went great.. i figured they would be a lot longer than they were but president doesnt ask us questions. he just wants us to talk to him about our area. so mine was like 5 minutes long. On sunday we had stake conference and President durrant was asked to talk. He gave a very great talk and had the whole tyler stake laughing. He told them this is how you remember my name. my name is Devin George Durrant. so my initials are D G Durrant. if you change the G to an O and say it.. it says.. D O Durrant. and if you say it fast it sounds like Deodorant hahaha. it was very clever i must say.. later last night we had a lot of appointments punch so that made us pretty mad.. but oh well.. Thats my Fantastic week:)
